I have been living in the state of Utah for three years in five year period now. I came here when I was a senior in high school as an exchange student.
I went to West Jordan High School, go Jugars! lol, and I had such awesome experiences while I was attending that school.
I played the trumpet in the marching band, the pep band, and the jazz band, as well as I played volleyball on the B team.
It was fun, but due to my poor English speaking skills, I could not make as many friends as I wanted to, or even just to have good conversations with native speakers, I decided to come back and go to college and get a degree here instead of doing schooling back in Japan.

I recently finished my Associate degree at Salt Lake Community College, dude it took me forever to get it, I almost gave up so many times.
I tried to transfer to Brigham Young University twice after that but I got denied both times so I decided to go back to Okinawa and get a job or two so that I can save money and come back here and try some other college to finish my Bachelors, or even going back to SLCC and try BYU again..

I've done some part time jobs while I was going to school.
I was once a Japanese tutor helping out those who were learning Japanese at SLCC. I enjoyed it so much that I changed my Nursing major to Linguistics(with Japanese Teaching minor) so I can teach Japanese in the future.
I was also a Japanese speaking tour guide down in Las Vegas last summer. It was such an amazing experience. I learned so much about those national parks and the history and everything. I really enjoyed sharing that knowledge with my customers.
Now I am a Sushi chef at a tiny Sushi bar in Sandy, Utah.
I only make rolls, but it is so much fun. The best part is that I get free Sushi every night I work ;)

Well, so that's my little background, very very brifly but there ya go.
And actually I have to go to work now. Make alot of Sushi rolls tonight oh yeah. If you wanna try my Sushi rolls, well come on over.

I used to keep my 'blog' on here a little while ago but because I was so busy with school and life itself, I never put any efforts in this thing.

But I recently started what it's called 'mixi' and there I found several people keeping their blogs here and I thought maybe I should start this again and so my friends, or even people I don't even know could read mine here and enjoy too..

I will try to keep it updated so that way my friends in Japan or in other states can know what I am up to and stuff regularly.
So, there you go. The journey begins...
